The alcohol percentage can be divided into two groups, namely weak and strong alcoholic drinks. By weak alcoholic drinks we mean beer, wine, sherry, port, etc. These drinks have a percentage of maximum 15%, which is also the maximum that can be obtained during the fermentation process.

For an alcohol percentage greater than 15%, distillation is required to obtain a higher percentage of alcohol. We also call alcoholic drinks with more than 15% alcoholic beverages strong alcoholic drinks and include rum, whiskey, vodka, gin, etc.
